Fuse 22 !!! and replacement wheel centre caps

[a17thc]

Hello,

Just moved over from owning a 997 c4s cab to a Vantage roadster 08 and so far loving it.

Now, seen the fuse 22 removal video on You Tube, but when I look in the boot I cannot see the fuse box. After removing the compressor there is a box that is bolted to the panel. Can anybody advise where this fuse is, so I can check if its in or not...

Also, the centre caps on my wheels are showing a few signs of pitting and wondering the best place to purchase replacements.

Any help appreciated

I bought replacement centre caps for my 08 Roadster from the main dealer, I think all 4 were less than £30.

Fuse 22 was already pulled when I bought it back in 2012, so can't help you there.

Now sold...and sorely missed

Welcome...I moved from pork years ago and haven't looked back either!

You can usually find the wheel centres on eBay, main dealers or amongst various other suppliers here:

Welcome Anthony.

I am sure that you will enjoy your Vantage. Don't forget, we always like to see a photograph of new members cars.

The bolted box under the tyre compressor that you refer to, is the fuse box (unless there is something different from a 4.7). It has a black lid that lifts upwards. You need to feel for and squeeze clips. From memory, fuse 22 is near the back of the car. I think there might be two rows of fuses. If so, it is the row towards the centre line of the car. If you wish you can buy and fit a remote operation for fuse 22. It is very easy to fit and does not require any fusebox lid cutting.

I had some new wheel centre-caps fitted at a service, and was not charged very much.

Have fun with your car.

As I mentioned further up

In a roadster the fuse box is on left hand side of boot beneath a panel in the floor.
